5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Chops with Apples and Onions
Description: Two thick pork loin chops are seared in a hot skillet until golden, then served over soft sauteed onions and sliced Honeycrisp apples. The apples and onions caramelize in the pan drippings for a sweet-savory dish with no dairy needed.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty pork loin center cut chop, Honeycrisp apple, yellow onions
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb of pork loin chops total (2 chops, about 8 oz each), 2 Honeycrisp apples sliced into wedges, and 1 medium yellow onion sliced. Sear the chops 4 to 5 minutes per side, rest them, then cook the apples and onions in the same pan with oil, salt, pepper, and thyme for 8 minutes.

Tuesday
Meal: Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Yellow Potatoes and Onions
Description: Two crisp-skinned chicken leg quarters roast on one sheet pan over chunks of yellow potato and wedges of onion. The chicken juices season the vegetables as they cook, so cleanup is easy.
Sale items used: Butcher's Specialty fresh chicken leg quarters, yellow potatoes, yellow onions
Prep time: 60 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 leg quarters (assumed total weight 1.5 lb), about 1.5 lb of yellow potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks, and 1 yellow onion cut into wedges. Toss with oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, and roast at 425F for 45 to 50 minutes. Total time is about an hour, so cut the potatoes and onion earlier in the day and keep them in cold water in the fridge, then drain and dry them before roasting.
